Post Processing Techniques \u00a9 Benjamin Kanarek<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

Remember you my last post about\u00a0Adding Dimension to Your Flat Photos – One Post Production Technique<\/a>,\u00a0well nothing is carved in stone, there will be\u00a0variations dependent on the contrast of the original photo as well\u00a0as the shadow definition.<\/h4>\n

You may for example wish to stop at the\u00a00.3 pixels from 200 to 330 percent and keep it as such. You may\u00a0wish to pop up the contrast by using the 40 to 60 pixels from 10 to\u00a015 percent to give it more depth. You may decide not to add this\u00a0process knowing that you will add a duplicate layer in Soft light\u00a0which will enable you to go higher in the Fill and Opacity\u00a0coefficient. You mat not wish to sharpen at 0.3 percent at 300\u00a0pixels but just do the contrast pump formula of 40-60 pixels at\u00a010-15 percent. You may wish to de-saturate your duplicate layer to\u00a0give great B&W dimension which subsequently reduces the saturation.\u00a0You will add saturation once flattening the layer…etc etc etc. I\u00a0use which ever process works best for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
